Was my Pilates instructor inappropriate with physical adjustments and contacting me later?

Hi. Just wanted to gauge opinions please on what happened in a pilates class that l attended for a short while.

The instructor would go round the class and correct positioning etc.

One time soon after I'd started l was lying on my back and he was trying to get me to flatten my back down. He placed his hand under my lower back so he could feel if l was doing it correctly.

Whilst he did that his hand went inside the top of my leggings and he came in contact with the top of my bottom.

After class he apologised and l said it was fine... because it was... l was too busy concentrating on what l needed to do and l trusted him as a professional.

Another time l attended class with a very stiff neck and shoulder. He offered to massage it after class. Again l didn't think to much into it as others were in the room.

Then... on another session l was lying on my front with my arms stretched out in front. I had a bra, vest top and then a looser top on - all thin layers as recommended on the website.

He reached under both my tops and placed his hands either side of my ribs with his thumbs meeting on my spine.... to check my alignment.

He did then messaged me outside of class about meeting up and we had a brief "situationship" before he completely ghosted me.

I am guilty of overthinking things ....but was he inappropriate?

What he did was inappropriate most definitely.

What made you decide to enter a “situationship” with him? Presumably at some stage you made a conscious decision to kiss him etc.

l liked how he described his relationship with his partner and so felt "safe" that he'd treat me similar ie with communication, respect etc. I enjoyed our chats and that he also had hobbies so l wouldn't feel that we had to spend loads of time together.

He kissed me on one of our meet ups outside of pilates and it led from there.
